Wesley Chapel Crowned Florida’s Best City to Live
Wesley Chapel tops Florida's best cities list, according to a ConsumerAffairs study evaluating 50 populous cities.
The Pasco County suburb secured first place by excelling in healthcare, education, and safety metrics. With the highest number of healthcare practitioners per capita and the third-highest high school graduation rate, Wesley Chapel also ranked second in safety, boasting a violent crime rate lower than the state average.
Two additional Tampa Bay cities made the top five: North Port (ranked 2nd) and Riverview (ranked 4th). Both were praised for affordability, with residents spending approximately 22% of income on housing.
The comprehensive study weighted safety and affordability most heavily, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Zillow, NeighborhoodScout, and NYU Langone Health to assess cities across five key categories.
Tampa Among the First Airports to Adopt
Ground Safety Technology
Tampa International Airport (TPA) has become one of the first airports in the U.S. to implement the Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI) system, a cutting-edge technology provided by the FAA.
The SAI system utilizes Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) to monitor aircraft and vehicle movements on taxiways and tarmacs, significantly enhancing ground safety. Aviation expert Mark Weinkrantz praised the initiative for improving situational awareness for air traffic controllers, particularly in challenging weather conditions like rain and fog.
Passengers have welcomed the upgrade, recognizing its importance in ensuring safer air travel. The FAA plans to deploy SAI at 18 airports by early 2025, addressing runway safety concerns highlighted by 1,760 incursions reported in 2023.
Omega Imbalance: How Your Diet May Affect Cancer Defense
A new study suggests that an imbalance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids may hinder the body's ability to fight cancer cells in the colon.
High levels of omega-6, often found in ultra-processed foods, could create a chronic inflammatory environment that makes it easier for mutations to take hold.
The Western diet, rich in seed oils used in fast and processed foods, has led to a significant increase in omega-6 consumption over the past half-century. While both omega-3 and omega-6 are essential for health, an excess of omega-6 may promote inflammation.
Experts emphasize the importance of increasing omega-3 intake, found in fatty fish and certain nuts and seeds, to maintain a proper balance
Video Game Dispute Turns Deadly: Florida Man Shoots Parents
A Florida man, Joseph Voigt, 23, is facing serious charges after shooting his parents during a dispute over video games and employment.
On December 7, 2024, Voigt allegedly shot and killed his father, Marvin Voigt, 63, and critically wounded his mother, Susan Voigt, 58, at their home.
According to police reports, Voigt admitted that his father had been criticizing him for spending excessive time playing video games and not seeking employment.
After the shooting, he fled the scene but was later apprehended by Orlando Police during a felony traffic stop.
Voigt has a prior criminal history, including arrests for firing a weapon in a residential area and battery. He was recently released from jail on December 1, 2024, before this incident.
